Honeywell Xenon XP 1952g | Cordless Bluetooth 1D/2D Scanner USB Kit | HD Focus | Presentation Cradle + Battery | Adaptus 6.0 | Black
Overview
The Honeywell Xenon XP 1952g is the cordless evolution of the Xenon XP 1950g — combining class-leading Bluetooth 4.2 wireless freedom with the same superior 1D/2D scanning performance, exceptional durability, and retail-optimised design. The 1952g eliminates cable management at the POS without sacrificing scanning performance, range, or reliability.
Powered by Adaptus Imaging Technology 6.0 and a 1240×800 megapixel-class sensor, the 1952g HD (High Density) variant reads challenging barcodes at close to medium range — including high-density labels, damaged codes, faded receipts, and barcodes from customer smartphone screens. With a 100-metre Bluetooth 4.2 range and adaptive frequency hopping, the wireless connection remains stable even in RF-congested retail environments.
This complete USB kit (1952GHD-2USB-5-R) includes the scanner, CCB10 Bluetooth presentation charging cradle, 3m USB cable, and 2400 mAh Li-Ion battery. When placed in the cradle, the 1952g automatically switches to hands-free presentation scanning mode — making it a dual-role device: cordless handheld away from the cradle, fixed hands-free scanner when docked.

Use Cases
Retail POS — Cordless Checkout: Associates scan merchandise anywhere within a 100m Bluetooth range — bottom-shelf items, oversized products, items in the cart — without being tethered to the counter. When placed in the CCB10 cradle, it presents barcodes hands-free for loyalty cards and mobile coupons.
Pharmacy & Drug Store: HD focus reads high-density pharmaceutical barcodes (GS1 DataBar, DataMatrix) on medication labels and blister packs. Cordless operation allows scanning in the dispensing area away from the POS terminal.
QSR & Hospitality: Reads digital coupons, mobile loyalty barcodes, and QR codes from customer smartphones. Presentation cradle at the counter for customer-self-scan; pick up for handheld when needed.
Warehouse Receiving & Inventory: 100m range covers a receiving dock or stock room. IP52 and drop/tumble ratings handle daily warehouse conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the CCB10 presentation cradle do?
The CCB10 is a Bluetooth charging cradle and communication base. When the 1952g is placed in it, the scanner automatically activates presentation (hands-free) mode and the cradle transmits scanned data to the connected POS via USB. It also charges the scanner's battery. When the scanner is removed, it returns to trigger-activated handheld mode with full Bluetooth freedom.
What is HD focus and when should I choose it over SR?
HD (High Density) focus is optimised for reading small, dense barcodes at close range — such as high-density GS1 DataBar codes on pharmaceutical packaging, small price tags, and dense 2D codes on component labels. SR (Standard Range) is better for standard retail product barcodes read at arm's length or further. If you regularly scan pharmaceutical or small item barcodes, choose HD; for general retail, SR is more versatile.
How long does the 2400 mAh battery last?
The 2400 mAh battery provides a full shift of scanning without recharging under typical retail scanning patterns. When the scanner is placed in the CCB10 cradle, it charges automatically. For high-intensity operations, spare batteries are available separately as Honeywell accessory BAT-SCN01 or equivalent.
What is the difference between the -R and -N suffix?
The -R suffix denotes the ROW (Rest of World) variant — certified for use outside North America and Latin America. The -N variant is for North America/LATAM. The scanners are functionally identical; the difference is regional regulatory certification.
